NVIDIA 3D Vision User Guide
System Requirements
Visit www.nvidia.com/3dvpro for a full list of supported graphics
boards, applications, and 3D Vision Ready displays or projectors.
Safety Requirements
Do not wear the glasses in any situations that require unimpaired
visual perception. Do not use the glasses as sunglasses.
Under normal conditions, stereoscopic 3D viewing is safe for any
duration that you would normally view your display. However, some
people may experience discomfort. To minimise the potential for
experiencing visual problems or any adverse symptoms:
>>Take the stereoscopic 3D medical test to verify your ability so see
stereoscopic 3D images.
>>Maintain a distance no closer than 2 to 2.5 feet away from the
display. Viewing from too close a distance can strain your eyes.
>>Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every hour of
stereoscopic 3D viewing.
>>If you experience any of the following symptoms:
nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,

headache, or eyestrain,
blurry vision,
double vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example,
driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away.
If symptoms persist, discontinue use and do not resume
stereoscopic 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms
with a doctor.
Welcome
01

IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF

EPILEPSY, CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE USING COMPUTER
GAME PRODUCTS.
A small percentage of the population may experience

epileptic seizures when viewing certain types of TV images
or video games that contain flashing patterns of light.
The following people should consult a doctor before viewing
in stereoscopic 3D:
>> Children under 5 years of age

>> Anyone with a history of epilepsy, or who has a family
member with a history of epilepsy
>> Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or
sensory disturbances triggered by flashing light effects.
WARNING!
SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH

NO PRIOR HISTORY OF EPILEPSY. DISCONTINUE STEREOSCOPIC
3D USE IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS
WHILE VIEWING STEREOSCOPIC 3D IMAGES.
>> Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching

>> Muscle cramps

Unpacking Equipment
Prior to unpacking your new NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro solution, it is a

good idea to visit www.nvidia.com/3dvpro to download the current
drivers you'll need during installtion.
Be sure to inspect each piece of equipment shipped in the packing
box. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your reseller.
Equipment
The following parts and assemblies are included in the NVIDIA
3D Vision Pro boxes.
The included visor can be snapped on to the
glasses to reduce the amount of overhead
light.
The included USB cable is used to charge
the glasses. Connect the cable either to your
computer or an external USB power adator.
The glasses come with various nose pieces to
customise them for your comfort.
You also receive a pouch for your glasses and
a special cleaning cloth. It is recommended to
always keep your glasses in the pouch when
not in use.
3D Vision Pro Hub
The hub connects to your computer and controls the glasses.
Connect the USB cable to the computer. If
your Quadro board, projector or TV provide a
VESA stereo connector connect the included
VESA stereo cable from that conenctor to the
3D Sync input on the 3D Vision Pro Hub
02

Charging the Glasses
Note: We recommended that you fully charge your glasses
now since it will take approximately three hours to complete.

The glasses operate approximately 24-hours on a full charge.
The glasses require periodic charging. To charge the glasses, use the
USB cables that came with the glasses. Plug one end into the glasses
and the other to any USB port on your system. You can also use a USB
wall adapter to charge your glasses. Charge your glasses until the
Amber charge light goes out. You can use the glasses while they are
being charged.
Amber LED: Light flashes amber

when charging. Solid amber when
fully charged.
USB connection to charge glasses
If you are charging the wireless glasses by connecting them to your

PC using a USB cable, make sure your PC does not go into power
save mode. When your PC goes into power save mode, the wireless
glasses are no longer charging. To fix this, disable any power saving
options on your PC under the Windows Control Panel. Alternatively,
you can use a USB wall charging device to charge the glasses directly
from your wall power outlet without connecting to the PC. You can
use your glasses while they are charging.

Using the Glasses

It is a good idea to keep the glasses in the protective pouch when
you are not using them. The glasses will turn on automatically with
motion, but if they are fully powered down you will need to press
and release the control button to turn them on. The glasses turn off
automatically when there is no activity.
Control Button
For transport, or any other time the glasses radio needs to be turned
completely off, press and hold the control button until the lenses
blink twice and then open. The glasses are now completely powered
down and will not turn on with motion. To turn them on, press and
release the control button.
Caution: The wireless glasses are not prescription eye wear,
sunglasses, nor a protective goggle. Do not use the glasses
for any general eye wear purposes (e.g., driving, reading,
protection from sunlight or ultraviolet light, etc.) as such use
may result in injury.
Changing the Nose Piece

Your wireless glasses come with three interchangeable nose pieces
to give you a comfortable fit. Simply pull out the current nose piece
and insert the one that fits you best.
Pull the nose piece out as shown and

snap another nose piece in place

Set Up DirectX Stereoscopic 3D Driver

This section of the NVIDIA Control Panel provides all the
adjustments needed to enhance your experience.
Each of the adjustments on this screen is discussed.
Adjusting the Depth

The depth amount in an application is the depth that the
farthest object is placed in a scene. When 3D Vision is first
installed on your system, the Depth is set at the default of
15%. If you are new to 3D gaming, 15% is a good point to start
with. Viewing depth at a higher setting can be uncomfortable
to some users. As you use 3D Vision, your eyes will become
more accustomed to viewing stereoscopic 3D and you can
incrementally increase the depth amount without eye strain.
25
On the Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen, you adjust the depth amount

by adjusting the slider to the desired amount. The depth setting
on this slider indicates the depth amount for all supported applications
when they are launched.
You can also change the depth amount by adjusting the thumb wheel
on the back of the Hub. Any adjustments you make on the
thumb wheel is reflected on the Depth slider in the NVIDIA
Control Panel.
Thumbwheel to adjust
depth while in a
supported application
Another way to change depth while in a supported

application is to use the keyboard shortcut keys:
>>To decrease depth, use Ctrl+F3 (default shortcut keys)
>>To increase depth, use Ctrl+F4 (default shortcut keys)
Any adjustments you make using keyboard shortcuts is

reflected on the Depth slider in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Stereoscopic 3D Display Type

The Stereoscopic 3D display type is a drop-down list of all 3D Vision
Ready displays that were found by the Setup Wizard. This list is
populated by the Wizard. If you had more than one 3D Vision-Ready
display attached during Setup, they will be reflected in the list.

Stereoscopic 3D is not Working

>>Check and make sure that stereoscopic 3D is enabled. Review
Section 3 of this guide.
>>Windows Vista or 7 only: Run the Setup Wizard to verify your
hardware is operating properly. Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel
(right click on the desktop). Select Set Up Stereoscopic 3D. Then
select Run Setup Wizard from Test Stereoscopic 3D drop down
menu.
>>Ensure your glasses are fully charged.
You can check the battery level of your glasses by pressing
the Control button.
If the light next to the button is green, you have charge.

If the light is red, you have less than two hours remaining and it
is recommended that you recharged your glasses.
Check the batteyr level in the control panel

If the light does not turn on, the battery is drained and the
glasses must be recharged.
>>If you are charging the glasses by connecting them to your PC

using a USB cable, make sure your PC does not go into power
save mode. When your PC goes into power save mode, the
28
06
wireless glasses are no longer charging. To fix this, disable any

power saving options on your PC under the Windows Control
Panel. Alternatively, you can use a USB wall charging device to
charge the glasses directly from your wall power outlet without
connecting to the PC.
>>Make sure you have used the DVI cable that was shipped with
your 3D Vision Ready 120Hz LCD display. This is a dual-link
cable and 3D Vision will not operate without it.
Image is not Clear

Depth Needs Adjusting
Adjust depth amount in your application or for DirectX appliations
using the slider on the NVIDIA Control Panel Setup screen. If you are
in a supported application, use the thumb wheel on the back of the
Hub or the shortcut keys Ctrl+F3 to decrease depth and Ctrl+F4 to
increase depth.
Excessive Flickering
Flicker in your peripheral vision can be caused by differences in
frequencies at which 3D Vision Pro operates and the lighting in your
room. This type of flicker can be avoided by turning off the lights or
changing the stereoscopic 3D refresh rate. To see the refresh rates,
run the Setup Wizard from the NVIDIA Control panel
>>120 Hz refresh rate for use in North America when lights are on
>>110 Hz refresh rate for daytime and when lights are off
>>100 Hz refresh rate for countries with 50 Hz lighting and when
lights are on
29
Eyestrain/Headache
If you are experiencing eyestrain or headaches, it
could be due to excessive depth amount. Change
the depth in one of the following ways:
>>Check to see if you application has an eye separation adjustment
and reduce it to a more pleasing level. A maximum separation of
about 10 pixels, when looking at the screen without the glasses it
a good guide to follow.
>>Adjust the settings in your application to move the scene back
"into the screen" rather than having it come out of our screen.
Warning: If eyestrain and headaches persist, discontinue
viewing in stereoscopic 3D and consult a doctor.
